1.Oscar Wrigley,a two-year-old child with the same IQ as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking,has become the youngest boy in Britain to be accepted into Mensa.
A leader at the Gifted Children's Information Centre said Oscar,with an IQ of at least 160,is one of the brightest children they have ever come across.
Oscar's father Joe,29,an IT specialist,said, "He is always asking questions.Every parent likes to think their child is special but we knew there was something very unusual about Oscar.I'm fully expecting the day to come when he turns around and tells me I'm an idiot(白癡)."
Mother Hannah,26,told The Daily Mail, "He surprises everyone.We knew at 12 weeks he was quite bright.He was unusually quick in mind.The other day he said to me, 'Mummy,sausages are like a party in my mouth.' His vocabulary is surprising.He's able to make complex sentences."
Dr Peter Congdon,who tested Oscar,said he was a "child of very superior intelligence (超常智力)".He showed outstanding ability. "Oscar shows great gift.Changing that gift to success is the challenge for his parents and we are pleased that they have chosen to join the Mensa network for support",he said.Exactly speaking,Oscar was accepted at the age of two years,five months and 11 days.
The youngest British girl to join Mensa is Elise Tan Roberts,from Edmonton,North London,at two years,four months and 14 days,with an IQ of 156.

2.Today,as in every other day of the year,more than 3000 U.S.a(chǎn)dolescents will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults.During their lifetime,it can be expected that of these 3,000 about 23 will be murdered,30 will die in traffic accidents,and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking-related disease.The number of deaths due to cigarette smoking outweighs all other factors,whether voluntary or involuntary,as a cause of death.
Since the late 1970s,when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 percent,smoking rates among youth have declined.While the decline is impressive,several important issues must be raised.
First,in the past several years,smoking rates among youth have declined very little.Second,in the late 1970s,smoking among male high school seniors beat that among female by nearly 10 percent.The statistic is reversing(完全相反的).Third,several recent studies have indicated high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates,as much as 75 percent.
Finally,though significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurred in the past decade,no definite reasons for the decline exist.Within this context,the National Cancer Institute (NCI) began its current effort to determine the most effective measures to reduce smoking level among youth.
(1)According to the author,the deaths among youth are mainly caused by
A.traffic accidents
B.murder
C.smoking-related disease
D.a(chǎn)ll of these
(2)By "dropout" the author means
A.students who failed the examination
B.students who were driven out of school
C.students who lost their way
D.students who left school
(3)The reason for declining adolescent smoking is that
A.NCI has taken effective measures
B.smoking is prevented among high school seniors
C.there are many smokers who have died of cancer
D.none of these組卷:0引用:1難度:0.5 -
3.My wife and I,recently driving through Arizona,stopped at a "collector's shop" in Tucson,where many kinds of stones and minerals were on display.During the visit,we were taken into a small room where ordinary looking rocks were laid out on shelves.Had I seen them on some hillside,I would not have given them a second thought.Then the man closed the door so that the room was in total darkness and turned on an ultraviolet lamp (紫外線燈).Instantly,the rocks showed a kind of glory.Brilliant colors of an indescribable beauty were there before our eyes:certain power had been switched on,and a hidden world came to life.
As I look at my universe and walk among my fellow humans,I have the deep belief that hidden realities are all around us:there in the physical world,and there also in the human world.
I believe,then,that my chief job in life is to switch on extra power so that I can see what my naked eyes(裸眼),or my naked mind,cannot see now.I believe that I have to do this particularly with my human fellows.My ordinary eyes tend to stop short at those envelopes we call human bodies.But we have learned that by turning on certain power we can see through to the inside of these envelopes.
We call this extra power "imagination".At its highest,we call it "empathy",the power to see through and to feel through to the inner life of other human beings.When we turn on this lamp of imaginative sensitivity,we make the ordinary human beings around us come excitingly alive.
When we are aware that there are glories of life still hidden from us,we walk humbly (謙遜地) before the Great Unknown.But we do more than this:we try to increase our power of seeing and feeling so that we can turn what is still unknown into what is warmly and understandably known.This,I believe,is our great human adventure.
(1)Why does the writer mention their visit to the collector's shop?
A.To share his experience.
B.To explain his point
C.To introduce the topic.
D.To provide evidence
(2)Which of the following does the writer agree with?
A.He saw the very rocks on some hillside before.
B.Hidden realities remain in the physical world.
C.Ordinary minds can never reach other's inside.
D.We should stay humble when we are still unknown.
(3)It can be referred to as a great human adventure that
A.we try hard to discover the hidden glories of life
B.our eyes stop short at ordinary human beings
C.we are aware of the truth of hidden realities
D.we walk humbly before the Great Unknown組卷:3引用:3難度:0.5

Dr.Patrice Nickens,who is with the National Heart,Lung and Blood Institute,thinks that heart disease is 82 percent preventable."(3)

"And the steps to take are simple:don't smoke,maintain a healthy weight,exercise,know your numbers and talk to your physician and control these risks,"she said.
African-Americans are at higher-than-average risk for heart disease and stroke;people don't even know they have it,which increases the risk.Medstar Washington Hospital Center is trying to reach this population.(5)
A.And that changed her life
B.So we must cure heart disease
C.Lack of exercise causes heart attacks
D.Yet most heart disease is preventable.
E.It is the leading cause of death for women

13.閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫,使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事.
One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom,had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest.Unfortunately,on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel.By the time they reached the lake,Jane was so angry that she said to Tom, "I'm going to find a better spot for us to camp" and walked away.
With no path to follow,Jane just walked on for quite a long time.After she had climbed to a high place,she turned around,hoping to see the lake.To her surprise,she saw nothing but forest and,far beyond,a snowcapped mountain top.She suddenly realized that she was lost.
"Tom!" she cried. "Help!"
No reply.If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom.Jane kept moving,but the farther she walked,the more confused she became.As night was beginning to fall,Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night.Lying awake in the dark,Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family.She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day,hungry and thirsty.She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance.Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy,she also saw some berry bushed.She drank and ate a few berries.Never in her life had she tasted anything better.Feeling stronger now,Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream,Jane heard a helicopter.Is that for me?Unfortunately,the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above.A few minutes later,another helicopter flew overhead.Jane took off her yellow blouse,thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.
